Standard Disclaimers Applied – I had to put this up since the songs here are not my own and the characters too except those you don't find in the book.

A/N: Hello again my avid readers! So here it is the Karaoke Night. Finally! Anyway, I'm really excited about this chapter because I finally got to write it. I mean the idea had been nagging in my head for quite some time now. Another Warning: It might be a little bit OOC-ish. Oh and Miguel's here! On with the story…

P.S. As much as I would want to give you a shorter version (meaning I'll just give you the title of the song and let you play it in your head) but there are songs here that you might not be familiar with and that the lyrics say so much about their feelings I just have to include them.

P.P.S.: For DM/HP fans out there. I have a new fic about them. Horror/Romance story, you might want to check it out.

Chapter 28: Karaoke Night

The massive hall in the Black-Potter (changed because Hermione's last name will be changed to Black sometime soon) residence was decorated to look like a Muggle mini-concert. There was a platform serving as a stage and a microphone in the middle. At various places were speakers of different sizes and shapes. There was a DJ who was a wizard but was addicted to Muggle music that was preparing his music. Ginny Weasely was now standing in the middle of the room to check if everything was in order. Admiring her handiwork she then proceeded to signal Miguel to open the door leading the guests inside. The audience for this mini-Muggle concert was very close friends and relatives. It was her idea after all to hold this party because of all the wonderful things that's been happening to them recently. She and Miguel helped out to make sure everything was in order. Miguel made the invitation, invited the DJ, designed the decorations and persuaded everyone to wear Muggle clothing as it is the theme of the night. Ginny was the one who put up the decoration and made the program. They went inside and settled with their counterparts. Instead of stools though, they were two seat couches scattered around.

As everyone settled in she stood in the middle of the stage and a spotlight, controlled by the DJ and with a little help from Dobby, got the attention of everyone.

She held on to a microphone, that no one but Harry, Hermione and Lily recognized.

"Good evening everyone! Welcome to our Post-Voldemort demise/baby showers/engagement party!" Ginny said her voice resonating in the hall. Everyone clapped.

"As you know, this party is with muggle theme so if you please, hand over your wands to Winky in exchange for your refreshments. Don't worry, they will be handed over when we're done." As Ginny said this Winky started fussing over everyone and gave them their refreshments. Everyone was curious as to why they were given small glasses (shot glasses) with a clear liquid in it.

"To start the evening please empty your glasses," Ginny ordered. Many were reluctant but they all obeyed. Most people coughed and didn't like the taste of the liquid but couldn't do anything now as it was down their throat. When they were done Winky handed them bottles of beer and vodka.

"I do hope you enjoyed that as you have just swallowed a drink called tecoila." Ginny said smiling. At this Miguel coughed to get Ginny's attention and whispered something in her ears.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I stand corrected. It is tequila. It's a muggle drink that gives you confidence, well from what I gathered." Hermione and Lily coughed and almost gagged as they wanted to get the alcohol out of their system knowing it is bad for their children health. Harry was surprised at this.

"Don't worry Mione and Mrs Potter, and don't look at me like that Harry, I took precautions because of their delicate condition. Professor Snape was happy to make the tequila harmless to your babies so on with the program." Ginny smiled triumphantly.

"Well, usually we could hire bands to play for us but I have a better idea! I will call upon you one by one and then you will sing in front of everyone." There were different reactions from excited to groaning.

"Oh don't worry, I'll make sure that I'd set you up a good costume and that your songs will reflect something about you. These are muggle songs mind you. I will be the only one who could use my wand so you have to come up backstage as Miguel calls your name or signals for you to go backstage. Miguel, if you please choose our first victim, I mean, performer." Ginny said and giggled.

"Why thank you young Ginny. For our first performer, why not start with the goddess herself, her holiness Hermione Granger!" Miguel shouted but didn't have to as the microphone was doing all the work of increasing his voice. There was a loud applause from everyone. Hermione didn't want to go up the stage so Harry and Ron started cheering them on.

"Mione! Mione!" They kept saying this until everyone was shouting her name. When she finally stood up everyone cheered and clapped.

"Your highness, if you please, proceed to the backstage." Miguel led her to the backstage. Ginny was waiting for her there.

Hermione went backstage and was met by Ginny. Ginny pointed her wand at her and the blue sweater she was wearing was now replaced with a spaghetti strapped top that ended just around her ribcage showing plenty of her flat tummy and her slender shoulders. Her thick jogging pants were replaced with a low cut jeans that were faded blue. It hugged her hips just so. Hermione instantly started to cover herself up with her hands but it was hindered by Ginny by catching her hands and placing them beside her.

"Ginny, what the bloody hell is the meaning of this?"

"Well, for your performance, you will sing and dance for Sirius. And since I heard you already sang him a love song once before, I guess this would be nice for a change. Remember, you can see the lyrics of the song in front of you so you wouldn't get lost. The tune is already planted in your brain with the spell I did and this is you, so try to have fun, okay? Good luck." Hermione wanted to protest but Ginny already pushed her to the curtains and was seen by everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Hermione Granger with a song and dance number for her soon to be husband Sirius Black!" Came Miguel's voice. The spotlight focused on her and everyone gasped. Sirius mouth was hanging open. Hermione stood there with her milky white skin, her chest was rising slowly up and down showed by her cleavage and the curve on her waist was unmistakable. Her tummy was still flat since she was only a few weeks pregnant. Her hair was also curled into big coils. The audience' shock was interrupted by a loud beat. Hermione was being pushed into the place of the microphone. She now held the microphone and started seeing lyrics in front of her. At first she was a bit shy but by the second line she figured that she shouldn't be such a kill joy and besides wasn't it her fantasy to dance sexy in front of Sirius just to show him that she can make Sirius' blood boil with desire.

Baby, can't you see

I'm calling

A guy like you – She looked directly at Sirius.

Should wear a warning – She licked her lips.

It's dangerous

I'm fallin – She bit her lips.

There's no escape

I can't wait

I need a hit

Baby, give me it

You're dangerous

I'm lovin' it

Too high – Her waist were now swaying to the beat.

Can't come down

Losing my head

Spinning round and round

Do you feel me now

With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic I'm slipping under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic

And I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic

It's getting late – By this time James and Remus had to laugh at Sirius' crimson face.

To give you up

I took a sip

From my devil's cup

Slowly

It's taking over me

Too high – Hermione was covered with sweat from dancing so sexy

Can't come down

It's in the air

And it's all around

Can you feel me now

With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic I'm slipping under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic

And I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic

Don't you know that you're toxic

With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic I'm slipping under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic

Intoxicate me now

With your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now

I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now

With your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now – Hermione looked directly at Sirius as if daring him to lunge at her right that moment.

Toxic – Britney Spears

Hermione finished sweating, panting and with a bow. The cheer was deafening and was coming from the younger adults that were there. Miguel got the microphone from Hermione and was led back to her chair and before Sirius could kiss her because of her incredibly hot performance his name was called.

"Go Sirius!" James and Remus cheered on. Sirius stood up immediately and went backstage but not before bowing to the audience.

Sirius came out and an applause welcomed when he emerged. He was wearing a black tight shirt that looked like the sleeves were torn off. A black cotton wristband hugged his wrist and his hair was fashioned for him to look like a rock star. He then saw what he needed to sing and reading the lyrics ahead he prepared to pour himself to the song because it was for Hermione.

Am I real?

Do the words I speak before you

Make you feel

That the love I have for you

Will see no ending?

Well, if you look into my eyes

Then you should know

That there is nothing here to doubt

Nothing to fear

And you can lay your questions down

'Cause if you'll hold me

We can fade into the night

And you'll know

The world could die

And everything may lie

Still you shan't cry

'Cause time may pass

But longer than it'll last

I'll be by your side

Take my hand

And gently close your eyes

So you could understand

That there's no greater love tonight

Than what I've for you

Well, if you feel the same way for me

Then let go

We can journey to a garden no one knows

Life is short, my darling

Tell me that you love me

So we can fade into the night

And you'll know

The world could die

And everything may lie

Still you shan't cry

'Cause time may pass

And everything won't last

But I'll be by your side

Forever by your side

So you won't cry

214 – RiverMaya

Sirius looked into Hermione's eyes throughout the whole song to tell her how sincere the words in the song were. Hermione was almost in tears hearing the song. It was sweet, sincere and best of all it was for her from the man she loved.

It was now Lizzy's turn to sing. This is what she sang.

Well I'll always be there for you

When you need someone well I'll be that one you need

She knew how there were many times Harry felt so alone and with no one who could understand him, not even his best friends.

Well I'll do all my best to, to protect you

Now that he has her, he would never let her feel that way again.

When the tears get in your eyes

Harry would have to learn to cry to her now because if need be she'll cry with him, just to let him now that she cares.

Well I'll be the one that's by your side

Chorus:

Well I'll be there

when you call me in the middle of the night

No nightmares would ever bother him again.

I will keep the rain from falling down into your eyes

Lizzy knew that Harry cried too much before that he didn't deserve to anymore, not in this lifetime if she could help it.

(I promise) I promise

(I promise)

I promise I will

When I'll take good care of you

Take your darkest night and make it bright for you

Well I'll be there to make you strong

And to lean on

When this world has turned so cold

Well I'll be the one that's there to hold

Chorus:

Well I'll be there

when you call me in the middle of the night

I will keep the rain from falling down into your eyes

(I promise) I promise

(I promise)

I promise I will

Well I'll be there

when you call me in the middle of the night

I will keep the rain from falling down into your eyes

(I promise) I promise

(I promise)

I promise I will

And I'll love you more everyday

And nothing will take that love away

When you need someone

I promise I'll be there for you

There for you

Chorus:

Well I'll be there

when you call me in the middle of the night

I will keep the rain from falling down into your eyes

(I promise) I promise

(I promise)

I promise I will

I promise

I promise

When you call me

I promise

I promise I will

The audience was awed. Lily was in tears with James holding her. Amanda was also trying to keep her tears from falling as she buried her face into Remus' neck. Harry was wiping his tears. Asking himself how he could be so lucky to have her. Before Miguel could call the next performer, Ginny came out of the backstage and whispered something into Miguel. Miguel grinned showing his fangs.

A/N: Okay, let's take a break. It seems that Ginny's secret has been intriguing everyone and that everyone's got ideas on what is it. How about this, let's vote on it. As for now, I only have two ideas from you and that's Ginny/Miguel and Ginny/Snape. It wasn't what I originally thought of but why don't we get all your ideas on who she's snogging and then vote on it. Pls put it in your reviews and tell me what you think about this chapter. Sorry it took too long, I promise every Thursday I will upload as my days off are Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights which means I can write at those times. There are only two more chapter on the Karaoke night and then the grand wedding and then the kids are born. That would be the end chapter. We're finally getting there. The sequel is screaming in my head as I write this. Reviews please.
